The San Diego AD-RCMAR is now accepting pilot project applications for the 2021-22 academic year. The goals of the San Diego AD-RCMAR are to increase the diversity of the Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) scientific workforce, and fill critical scientific gaps in Latino ADRD research. Three, possible four AD-RCMAR Scientists will receive $25,000 – $35,000 (depending on scope of project) for one year to execute their proposed Specific Aims.
Applicants should be postdoctoral fellows or junior faculty members (e.g., Assistant Professor). In addition, applications are encouraged from mid-career faculty (e.g., Associate Professor) who are transitioning into ADRD research. Projects should address behavioral and social research areas related to ADRD, especially those related to Latino cognitive aging, mild cognitive impairment and ADRD. Projects that focus on other underrepresented populations are also welcome.
Initial applications are due Monday, December 21, 2020. Learn more at: https://knit.ucsd.edu/sandiegoadrcmar/.
